Crush or Pinpoint Top Material

Hey Wildcat
A few weeks back I called Legendary and talked to them about tops. They were really helpful and gave me a couple of options and so I decided to go with the Electron top. Its crush grain instead of the pinpoint like I had earlier. It just came in a week or so ago and now its laid out on the frame with heat in the shop to get some of the wrinkles out prior to installing. The interior guy is coming to my house this Friday to start. On a side point, I have a pair of the spring steel wire pieces that you made a while back. They came from a friend of mine, DA69RT GT. I'm going to to try to repo me a set from his. I just got the .062 spring steel in a couple of days ago. Gonna make a jig this week and give it a shot. Any words of advise?

PS, You Dart is SWEET!

Herb Beers was making the wires to push the top out on the sail panel, but don't think he was using spring steel. He is on here as 67dart (I think)

I made them years ago while at work when I was running a machine that if was running good I had spare time. I tried to make some but just couldn't get into it. Herb made a jig to bend them up. Mine were all done free hand. And to get mirror image was a PIA, but once I got a few rights done then switch to making lefts. Had marked out on my tool box what I needed in lengths. Good luck
